Great videos. Nice plane too. Only thing is how did you remove all the snow for the video, as 15 miles away we have a blanket of the stuff. Also, quite a funny sounding inline...... Talk to you later.

I have gone to Gimli before, but never brought a plane. Hope to change that this year with the P-51.

Looks great Xanadu, I hope you can bring it up to Gimli this Aug for modelfest.

I have been through (and over) Anola many times on route to the 'peg...might have to bring a plane next time.

Maiden Flight!!! ...P-51 .40 by Great Planes

Finally had the maiden flight on the P-51 tonight and it fly's AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

Never even needed to trim it, shocked the heck out of me. Tracks nice, handles smooth but with authority, and gobs of power..........whoo whoo.......!!!!!

Take off was nice and smooth, landing was going great until I hit the soft edge of the freshly graded gravel road we fly off. Usually the road is almost like asphalt but was graded earlier today. No damage except for slight tear of covering on the nose come, a twisted wheel, and a bruised ego for blowing the landing.

Video camera had problem so no footage except for a couple of still pics. Video to be posted at a later date.

She is all done, awaiting its maiden flight. Weather and timing just have not been cooperating.
Trying to get someone with a video camera so I can film the maiden and hopefully not its demise!

I have since installed the yellow spinner after the photos were taken.
